Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A randomized single-blind controlled trial is conducted that compares both treatment approaches for epicondylitis (eccentric exercises applied directly by a physiotherapist for 10 sessions, and eccentric exercises applied by the patient during the same time) in terms of efficacy against pain, functionality and patient satisfaction, all this within the framework of the public health system.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To compare the efficacy of an eccentric exercise program applied to patients with epicondylosis by a structured manual program in ten sessions and by an illustrated booklet.
The specific objectives of this study are:
Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of pain Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of function Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of satisfaction

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES
Age, Sex, Work activity (referred to a superior member): intense -including, among other kind of activities, keyboards users and housewives-light.
Basal pain according to visual analogue scale (VAS) of 100 mm. Baseline disability according to the DASH questionnaire (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), which is self-administered.
DEPENDENT VARIABLES
Pain according to the aforementioned scale just after treatment (2 weeks) and at 3 months.
Disability according to the aforementioned questionnaire just after the treatment (2 weeks) and at three months.
Satisfaction with the treatment right after it (2 weeks) and at three months. A Likert scale of five points ( very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied nor unsatisfied, very unsatisfied) will be used.
Co-interventions (Systemic and/or topical route drugs, physiotherapy modalities received outside the system, use of orthoses).
TREATMENT
SINGLE
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Eccentric exercise by physiotherapist
A physiotherapist will apply (in this order) a plan of stretching exercises, warm-up exercises and eccentric exercises of epicondylar muscle,according to a program of 10 sessions of 20 minutes each, during two weeks.
Before exercise, ultrasounds will be applied at intensity of 0.1 wat/cm2, which is considered as a placebo, in order to achieve greater adherence and monitor the treatment.
Exercise
Illustrated booklet
A physiotherapist will train the patient an exercise plan equivalent to the one above explained with the help of illustrations. Now, in order to achieve palmar flexion at the same time the patients will contract their epicondylar muscles (the eccentric effect), and elastic band is used.
